Re: FreeBSD 5.3: panic page fault with nge driver
No one has replied to my posts. :( I hope I provided all the info that was needed. I tried 5.3-STABLE, but no success. OS still panics with same message below. 5.2.1-RELEASE works, but its not current anymore and I don't want to install an older OS. Besides, even with 5.2.1, I had to hardcode the media settings for the interface. OpenBSD 3.6 does not seem to have this problem and uses the same driver. So until I see that the problem is fixed, I have to move my IDS's over to OpenBSD. sp0ng3b0b wrote: I am getting a page fault with a new install of FreeBSD 5.3 Release.

Re: FreeBSD 5.3: panic page fault with nge driver
I've been told that this might be fixed in CURRENT. That's nice, but I am trying to run a production quality server and CURRENT is not recommended for that purpose. Any recommendations? By the way, is Questions the wrong list for my problem? sp0ng3b0b wrote: I am getting a page fault with a new install of FreeBSD 5.3 Release. Something changed with the nge driver in FreeBSD 5.3.

Re: FreeBSD 5.3: panic page fault with nge driver
I found some more info: ---snip--- To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tue, 16 Nov 2004 14:28:58 - Subject: 5.3-RELEASE with nge crashes regularly under load I tried enabling giant and setting the sysctl neither helped. Unfortunately didn't have time to setup and get a dump of the kernel panic as I had to get the machine up and running ASAP. Replaced the netcard with an em and all was well. Test to reproduce should be rsync on a dir with some large files in. Steve ---snip--- This could be the problem. Well, it was hard enough convincing mgmt to let me use FreeBSD instead of RedHat. But I am not going to get budget for new nics...especially when the worked before. If ANYONE can help...I would appreciate it. Again, to restate, nge driver is causing a panic: page fault. sp0ng3b0b wrote: I've been told that this might be fixed in CURRENT.
